Zechariah 7:11-14
Legacy Standard Bible
11 But they (A)refused to give heed and [a](B)turned a stubborn shoulder and [b](C)dulled their ears from hearing. 12 And they made their (D)hearts [c](E)diamond-hard [d]so that they could not hear the law and the (F)words which Yahweh of hosts had sent by His Spirit by the hand of the (G)former prophets; therefore great (H)wrath came from Yahweh of hosts. 13 And it happened that just as (I)He called and they would not listen, so (J)they called and I would not listen,” says Yahweh of hosts; 14 “but I [e](K)scattered them with a (L)storm wind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land is (M)desolated behind them [f]so that (N)no one was passing through and returning, for they (O)made the pleasant land desolate.”

Zechariah 7:11-14
International Standard Version
11 But they refused to pay attention, turned their backs, and stopped listening. 12 They made their hearts hard like a diamond, to keep from obeying the Law and the messages that the Lord of the Heavenly Armies sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. 13 Therefore, just as when I[a] cried out and they would not listen, so also they will cry out, and I will not listen,’ says the Lord of the Heavenly Armies. 14 ‘I will scatter them to all of the nations, which they have not known.’”
Now the earth was left desolate after them. As a result, no one came or went because they had turned a pleasant land into a desert.
